IWHBYD Skull: How was it found initially
I 've always wondered.....was the combination to find this skull leaked or did someone actually find it legitimately on their own? Does anyone actually know?
-
ppl hacked into the game and looked up the code to get it, i doubt it would have been discovered so soon if ppl hadnt done that
-
Modders found the coding.
-
Hackers found out about it. It was supposed to be the hardest skull to find. Obviously not lol.
-
i would have thought it was bungie staff coz who else would've guessed that unless they just give someone a little tip. very good question though
-
The numeric sequence was not leaked, it was revealed by way of a hex editor. And yes, the numeric sequence is meaningful ([url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halo_3:_IWHBYD_(I_Would_Have_Been_Your_Daddy)_Skull]http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halo_3:_IWHBYD_(I_Would_Have_Been_Your_Daddy)_Skull[/url]).

Search it on google, Bungie even said someone hacked the hex coding.....dont believe me then look it up...dont think up of crack-pot theories for something that is already fact Dont be a George Bush and make up lies to get your way [Edited on 10.08.2008 10:29 AM PDT]

I'd bet a Bungie worker showed one guy and it just spread from there. I would have never gused that jumping through the rings in a certain way would unlock a skull, I doubt anyone fomr the comunity would eather. When I first herd about what you have to day I though it was a lie because, like you said, how would anyone figure that out...
-
Well besides the hacker theory, someone might have been bored and decided to jump through the rings... I mean really really bored.
-
If you jump through the rings, they play different notes. If you just through the original 15 note sequence, then you get the beggining of some song. And the last 7 notes are all that you need to unlock the skull. At least that is what i heard, it that isn't true then someone made up somthing pretty darn good.
-
Is there any meaning in the ring combination? How would it have been found otherwise?
-
Teh Hackerz
-
Bungie did not leak the code, someone found hex codes within the game coding and then posted their results of an in-game test on youtube. Bungie has said that if it wasn't for someone finding the hex codes little to no people would have hayabusa
-
someone told me that when you jump through the ring it plays the tune to halo 2 or something like that i didnt say i believed it but i asked the same question a couple months ago and that was the answer i got
-
The found the code using Johnson, the modding tool.
-
Makes you wonder... What secrets may still exist buried within H3's single player campaign? Frankly, had I been a member of the Bungie team, prior to the release of H3, I would have advocated stuffing as much eggs as possible inside the game.

that's ok, [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TIMOTHEUS XIII [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] defnop552 hex code, not source code.[/quote] I understand that and the difference.....I was just pointing to the fact it was posted some where that it was done via looking at code[/quote]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] bigturns00 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] EHCHKAY a group of kids found it on their own. it used to be a 15 number combination, but it was lowered down to 7 numbers.[/quote]No. People used a binhex editor in order to find such nuggets. Then they posted their findings all over the Interweb forums. Eventually a video was made and subsequently posted to YouTube. I bought the game at midnight the day it came out. I then took the entire week off, from work, to enjoy what Bungie had built. I remember the first time I had seen a dude wearing Hyabusa, a product of unlocking this particular skull, running around in the game. I stopped what I was doing and followed him around like a fool. Never did I think Bungie would drop something like this into the game. Too bad for us that sites like YouTube exist. Too bad for us that hacker punks find the need to peek under Bungie's hood. Had they not, perhaps Hyabusa would have lived up to Bungie's hopes (the 'r-con' armor for the rest of us)?[/quote] PLEASE! Stop listening to rumor. No one "discovered" it thru trial and error. Hell, they wouldn't have even known to jump thru the hoops! There is no way [b]anyone[/b] would have found it without the internet. Anyone who says otherwise is a bold faced liar.
-
If its available people are going to find it then post it on the internet. Bungie wanted us to find it in my opinion. It would have been next to impossible to find it without knowing anything. So I think the online community all tried to look for it, they found some information. Then they used it to get to it. There must of been some leak from Bungie, or looking at code/hacking. Otherwise I doubt anyone would of found it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ProzZz No one would of found IWHBYD skull if it didn't get on youtube.[/quote] agreed, that would have been nearly impossible for anyone to figure out on thier own
-
First of all, I lol at the kids who said they "hacked to source code." As if looking at hex code is anything like hacking source code. Opening something in a binhex editor =/= decompiling an entire video game. And I think it would have been an all-or-nothing kind of thing anyway. Once the secret was found, it would have rapidly moved through the entire community. It was just a matter of how long it would take for people find it. So, it was just sooner rather than later.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TIMOTHEUS XIII I've googled it before...its true...If I have time to search again I'll post the link [url]http://www.halo3planet.com/halo-3-skull-locations/iwhbyd-skull/[/url] [/quote] THANKS!!!

No one would of found IWHBYD skull if it didn't get on youtube.

This information was "leaked" by Bungie.
-
There is no way hackers spent there time trying to find a skull in Covenent on halo 3. i mean, if they were "hackers" they would already have the skull, And to busy lagging people out of the game so they can get a general
